This little boy, wrapped up in a beautiful raggy quilt, experienced some distress during his surgery and had to be put in ICU. His parents stayed up with him all night. Knowing that, this photo just about breaks a person's heart. Good news: he bounced back and is doing fine!

They've just gotten started on surgeries.. I hope we see more quilt photos!

We have the team. We have local funding. We have patients lined up. Now, all we need is YOU.

If you have ever considered making a donation, now is a perfect opportunity to double the impact of your gift. Three large donors have generously offered to match up to $35,000 in contributions for this mission. Will you come together to match their contribution?

About SUNSHINE QUILTERS ONLINE GUILD

Sunshine Quilters Online Guild makes quilts for children and teens all around the world. We work with two programs: Wrap-A-Smile and Wrap Them in Love.

Wrap-A-Smile is part of a Rotary program called Rotaplast. Rotaplast sends volunteer medical teams worldwide to perform free cleft lip/cleft palate surgery on children. After surgery each child gets a quilt to warm up in and to keep.Wrap Them in Love is a quilt donation program headquartered in Mt. Vernon, Washington. Wrap Them in Love is an official 501(c)3 non-profit organization. They send quilts to orphanages worldwide. To go to their website, click on their url under Links below.

Quilts are collected on a continuous basis. Both programs send quilts regularly; the need is on-going.

We welcome new members at any time, and encourage everyone to share the love, warmth, and fun of quilting for others!
